TheLoneWolf Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Though i doubt they will make the VT and VE again since they don't seem to be that popular....i hope they do though The VT-1 and VE-1 will most definitely come out in this new toy line. Graham said that Yamato designed this line to support 2-seaters from the start. While it's true that Graham could've been referring to the VF-1D only, the bubble canopy seen in the pics he posted reminds me of the bubble canopy used by the VT-1 and VE-1. Besides, we all know by now that Yamato absolutely will not pass up the opportunity to milk another toy line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chest needs to be a bit taller in fighter mode, or I could be wrong. Is the opening airbrake gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperHobo Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I wondered about that myself. Look like they are. Yup Graham confirmed that the opening air break and wing flaps would be gone on this new 1/60 line, but other goodies he didn't announce yet are still waiting to be unveiled.

Besides, we all know by now that Yamato absolutely will not pass up the opportunity to milk another toy line. maybe? but they'd have to make individual FP's for them both, new wings, new canopies and i'm sure some other things i'm leaving out. so its not that easy for them to milk it hence why i'm holding onto those 3 particular 1/60s until if/when we see production pics. it would suck to dump them now, only to buy them back later at an inflated price.

Scream Man Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 arent the VT fighters different besides being 2 seaters? Im sure i rememebr something abut the shape of the front meaning they would ahve to retool a chunk of it to be line accurate, though i could be wrong. Id get a Elint, but i dont need the Ostrich.

Sumdumgai Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 The wings on the VE/VT have detail differences like the wing tips, the backpacks and vertical stabilizers, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scream Man Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 that too, but doesnt the front have a deeper profile, so the copilot sits up higher than the pilot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightmareB4macross Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 that too, but doesnt the front have a deeper profile, so the copilot sits up higher than the pilot? The RIO does sit higher and the pilot sits a bit lower. It seems apparent when comparing the canopy frames from the VF-1 to the VT or VE-1 one. While on other hand, the VF-1D the pilots are at the same height as the VF-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I get the feeling Graham meant the VT-1 and VE-1 in addition to the D. The main problem would be how to accomodate the cockpits with the chest plate, however, as long as the chestplate problem is addressed, I doubt we have to worry. The D's cockpit section may be the same length as the VT/VE, and if thats the case, those 2 just need a higher chest plate in fighter mode. I have a feeling Yamato's already got this covered.

kensei Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 (edited) What does seem stupid in a sense, if it takes a lot of work to make the two styles of two-seaters, is that Yamato might as well have modified the 1/48 after all. I'm really interested to see how they do it. Edited December 27, 2007 by kensei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really interested to see how they do it. You and me both. I will prolly do as dnd-ist mentions, and hang onto some of my 2-seaters, pending the acid test. This is the single biggest quandary, I think, with the new line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Doubt the FP's of my VT-1 original 1/60 wouldn't fit onto a new perfect 1/60 then? : / Just lazy by Yamato if they can't be arsed to do up proper VT's and VE's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read my sig. They've been engineered from the start to allow for two seaters for a reason. I'm not worried about it, because I'm positive that they will come out with the complete line this time and that includes the D, VT, and VE models. -Kyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN_MARINE Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 i'm definitely getting these my concerns right now are... -price tag (can i finally buy a whole bunch of 'em without breaking the bank?) -FAST packs (are they gonna package them with the VF1 ?) -colors! (i want a 1S Hikaru ASAP ) and... anybody think they're gonna resurrect Low-Vis 1 in this scale ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriku Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 anybody think they're gonna resurrect Low-Vis 1 in this scale ? I have my fingers crossed that they make a Low-Vis in the 1/60 scale for the 1S, the 1A, the 1J and especially the 1D. I don't care if they're non-canon, a Low-Vis VF-1D would really kick ass.

Kyp Durron Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I'm hoping that they will finally release a TV Hikaru VF-1S...I don't consider DYRL cannon...I consider it a slightly altered timeline version. To me, the TV version will always be cannon, but that's just me. It would suck for me to have to buy a Hikaru VF-1J and a DRYL Roy VF-1S just to get a pseudo TV version Hikaru VF-1S. All they'd have to do is make the yellow arrows on the 1S head black and give it a Hikaru 1J pilot...Jesus Christ, it wouldn't be hard. -Kyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Focker Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Still the VF-1 looks too dinky at that size when next to other VFs. Yes the would be accurate to their actual size but it still looks dinky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyp Durron Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Yeah I want Max and Miriya Super 1Js too! Those are pretty much a given. I want a TV Roy/Hikaru VF-1S...with TV fast packs. Heck, if they were smart, they could put both pilots with it and give the fans a two for one so-to-speak. But knowing them, if they did it at all, they'd make them separate just to try and get people to buy both. -Kyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the would be accurate to their actual size but it still looks dinky. But it costs less than the 1/48, is more articulated, more sleeker in fighter mode, and possibly more accurate in battroid mode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danth Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 So which VF-1 do you guys want them to release first? Even if it's not probable, if you could pick any VF-1 for them to release first, which would it be? For me it would be the Hikaru VF-1J. It's my favorite VF-1, easily. I love the 1J head and the white scheme with red stripes. Plus, it's Hikaru, the main character's valk. Looks great with GBP or fast packs.

MasterOfPuppets Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I'd like to see them release Hikaru's 1J and Roy's 1S together... that is as long as they can get them out without any flaws or issues that need fixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hikaru 1J. Also I had no idea his 1S had different markings after Roy died. The Hikaru 1J would be a good first release, since it is popular, and if a GPs1 kit comes soon after, collectors have a "canon" valk for it to connect to.

Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Wha? Seriously? I had no idea either. What are the differences? Someone mentioned earlier that the arrows on the head are changed to black. Also the inclusion of Hikaru instead of Roy. Since I plan on getting a VF-1J Hikaru, it wouldn't matter to me, since I will probably get a Roy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp Durron Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 (edited) That was me, and I was referring to the difference between the Roy's 1S in DRYL vs the Roy 1S TV version. In the DRYL movie, the arrows on either side of the 1S is yellow, and on the TV version, they're black. And of course, in the TV version, Hikaru gets Roy's 1S rather than the Black and Red 1S made for him in DRYL. I want the TV version of Hikaru's 1S which is Roy's TV version 1S with a Hikaru pilot. The point was, it would be easy enough for Yamato to do and I'm hoping they will do it with this new 1/60 line since they didn't with the 1/48's. -Kyp Edited December 28, 2007 by Kyp Durron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowerV2 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 A thought occurs. When they release the supers, will they come with all the missiles etc like the 1/48s or will it just be the reaction missiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyp Durron Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I would assume that since this is the line meant to replace the 1/48 that it would come with all the missiles. -Kyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
